the reception given to the toasfc , aud assured fchem that although fcheir Most Worshipful Grand Master had many and varied duties to perform , very little went on in Mark Masonry about which he did nofc know . So far as they under him , as Grand Officers , were concerned , it was a greafc
pleasure for them to do anything to advance Mark Masonry . They considered it a great honour to be asked down there to instal Lord Yarborough . They bad had to perform a very pleasant duty , and he congratulated them upon the magnificent gathering they had seen of the Masons of the
Province of Lincolnshire . He then proposed the health of the Provincial Graud Master . They all knew him ; he lived amongst them . Thoy knew him not only as a Mason , bufc aa being interested in every good work to which he conld lay his hand . Ifc required no words from him to

reception they had given to the toasfc proposed in such very kind and flattering terms by the Earl of Euston . He could assure them he highly appreciated the honour they had done him , and the very important duties he had
undertaken . He entered on those duties with very mixed feelings , though he could nofc bufc express his great pride , pleasure , and honour which the Grand Master bad done him in appointing him to rule over Mark Masonry in Lincolnshire . He could assure them that he shonld
faithfully endeavour to carry out the duties connected with his office to the best of his ability , and he hoped that when he left the office he should have won their confidence and merited fcheir esteem . He had a very pleasing duty to perform , and that was to propose the health of the retiring
